PHYSIOTHERAPY & REHABILITATION TREATMENTS-GROVEDALE, GEELONG
Strengthen Up Physio will diagnose the condition and facilitate recovery as quickly and safely as possible. Injuries can create imbalances in strength, restriction in mobility, fear avoidance or pain sensitisation of the nerves around the area which in some cases can lead to persistent pain conditions.
It’s our job as the physiotherapist to help you recover, achieving short and long-term goals, most importantly preventing recurrences. Once a thorough physiotherapy assessment has taken place treatment can then be undertaken.
